Les soins sans consentement en psychiatrie : rédaction du certificat initial

Any doctor may be required to take care of patients with psychiatric disorders and be confronted with the necessity of imposing hospitalization in a psychiatric facility. In view of the increase in hands raised by the Judge of Freedoms and Detention, it is important to adopt a rigorous approach in the drafting of certificates for psychiatric care without consent. We will remember: the importance of conscientious fulfilment of the first certificates; the reassessment of the patient within 24 hours, by a psychiatrist; a review by the judge of freedoms and detention; the information given to the patient.
